Yindii - Rescuing a meal a minute from Asia's bakeries, hotels and supermarkets

Sunday, August 2, 2026 • Duration 42:44

Almost a third of all the food available to us is thrown away. In Hong Kong alone, 3,300 tonnes go to landfill every single day, nearly a third of everything the city bins. And most of it is perfectly good. Bakeries bake for the last customer who might walk in, hotels lay out a full buffet until closing, so ten to fifteen percent of what they make is surplus by design.

In this episode we speak with Louis-Alban Batard-Dupré and Mahima Rajangam Natarajan, an HEC Paris graduate who spent a decade scaling tech companies across Europe, the US and Southeast Asia, and a growth marketer who built customer acquisition at Lazada and Eatigo.

Yindii is Asia's surplus food marketplace. Shops list what they haven't sold as a "surprise bag" at 50 to 70% off, you reserve it in the app, and collect it in the last hour before closing. The merchant recovers money on food that was heading for the bin, pays nothing to join, and Yindii only earns a commission when a bag actually sells. For the customer it is the cheapest good food in the city, plus a small thrill: you don't know what's inside until you open it.

1.1 million meals rescued so far across Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore, with Seoul launching. More than 1,000 merchant partners including Pret A Manger, Paul, Marriott, Accor and Circle K. Revenue has tripled three years running, and the company turned profitable in 2025.

Their vision: to become the platform Asia's food businesses run all their surplus through, from the bakery on the corner to the warehouses upstream.

Zumma – AI that automates the most hated job in finance, building toward autonomous finance

Monday, July 6, 2026 • Duration 56:28

Listen to the story of Marinella Pinate, Daniela Lascurain and Fernanda De La Colina from Zumma. Based in Mexico, they are taking on one of the most hated jobs in corporate finance: chasing the government-stamped invoices every company needs.

In Mexico, an expense is not deductible without the official invoice, the CFDI, for every single transaction, and this kind of mandatory e-invoicing is now spreading across more than 60 countries. Zumma tackles this with a workforce of AI agents: an employee simply sends a photo of a receipt over WhatsApp, and Zumma retrieves the official invoice and pushes the data straight into the company's accounting system. Sold both directly and embedded inside corporate cards and banks such as Clara, Jeeves and Konfío, Zumma already serves around 550 companies and is already at breakeven.

Their goal is to free finance teams from manual work and, step by step, build a company's entire finance back office run by AI, what they call the future of autonomous finance.

Neem - building the Stripe of Pakistan for 250 million people

Friday, November 21, 2025 • Duration 01:00:32

Neem is a Pakistan-based fintech startup building the payments infrastructure that simply doesn't exist in the world's fifth largest country.

Founded by Vladimira, Nadeem, and Naeem—a former fintech accelerator builder, the ex-CEO of Pakistan's largest fintech JazzCash, and a former Pakistani Minister of Investment—Neem went live in January 2025 and already powers 50+ enterprise clients including the country's largest logistics provider (2 million packages/day), three top insurers, and healthcare platforms serving millions of patients.

With digital transactions growing 40% year over year and government backing the shift to cashless, Neem is laying the financial rails for 2.5 million+ underserved businesses in a market where Stripe, Razorpay, and Adyen don't operate.

Eolic Wall - making wind energy as accessible and scalable as solar

Saturday, October 11, 2025 • Duration 50:26

Eolic Wall is a Peru-based renewable energy startup revolutionizing distributed wind generation. While 40% of solar capacity is distributed, less than 1% of wind energy is—because traditional turbines need massive scale to be efficient. Eolic Wall has cracked the code with the Eolic Cell, a 2x2x2 meter modular wind system that delivers utility-scale efficiency with 20x the power density of solar.

Founded by Natalia and Alfredo, former bankers turned deep tech innovators, Eolic Wall uses proprietary aerodynamic geometry and magnetic levitation to achieve the same levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as traditional large-scale turbines—but in a compact, stackable format perfect for buildings, factories, and data centers.
